How long does your baby stay awake between naps?

Question

My son is 5 months old, and I think maybe he is over tired when he takes a nap (because he screams and cries for about 30 minutes before he will go to sleep). I think I am waiting too long between naps. How old is your baby, and how long do you keep them awake between naps? Thanks!

Answer 1

My son is 5 months old also and goes about 2hrs between naps most of the time. From what I hear at this age that's pretty standard, anything more can make them over tired.

Answer 2

I dont have  a baby lol..

But I have a brother who is 1 year old.

I keep him awake for 1 hour.

Answer 3

EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT.  MY oldest slept all the time, no problem. My middle child wouldn't sleep at all. My youngest is the only one that followed a schedule.

Answer 4

long enough to eat and be changed but she's only 2 weeks old
